The brilliant view which our harbour affords from the large number of merchant ships which are ly it% there at anchor, is heightened by the aspen of the Spanish and British squadrons, the former _consisting of 14 sail of the hoe and some smaller vessets, t;,e latter of 10 tine of battle ships, and seven iriBates d sloops. The Frenc3 apply themselves to fortify all the Poin s of the coast they °cut; y, and especially that of Tureadern, but the gun-boats and bomb-vessels harass them night and day, intlizt.several losses on their army, and till their hospitals. Pruvisions of e.ely.desciip•ion are at present evew More plen 4(11 in this city than in times of peace, and some articles als6 much cheaper; while the French on the ciittrar,er, suffer the utmost want, misery, and dist re,s.

They have only l eft in Barcelona, Gerona, Rosas, and Figuieras, the troops absolutely necessary to garrison them, and most of those. foreigners. It is probable that When they have placed the treasure they have carried _away they will return, or fortify themselves on the ft4ntiers. Our army has advanced upon Barcelona; an d the small garrison there appears much alarmed the approach of our numerous and gallant troops.

PINKNEY TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE, DATED LONDON, FEB. 28. " I have received from Gen. ARMSTRONG a letter and have, in consequence, made a written inquiry to Lord WELLESLEY (with whom I had before Commu,- cated personally on the subjeat) as to the inexist ence of the blockades to which it alludes. lam not without hopes that the reply to my inquiry will amount to a declaration (satisfying in substance the condition mentioned in General ARMSTRONG'S letter), that these blockades are not in force ; and if ir should, I will send immediately to General ARMSTRONG. I have prepared an official letter to you on this bead, which, .with such additions as circumstances may enable me to make to it, will be sent by the cor vette John Adana." POETRY. , 1 .
